English referee David Coote shows a red card to Chelsea’s Portuguese striker Joao Felix during the English Premier League football match between Fulham and Chelsea at Craven Cottage in London on January 12, 2023/AFPPix: Fulham increased the pressure on Chelsea boss Graham Potter with a shock 2-1 victory that saw Blues forward Joao Felix sent off on his debut before a decisive blunder from Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Kalidou Koulibaly equalised after the break but Felix was dismissed for a reckless studs-up lunge on Kenny Tete. Chelsea are languishing in 10th place -- 10 points adrift of the top four -- after their wretched run extended to one win in their last nine league games. The 47-year-old held a meeting with senior players Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic on Tuesday in an attempt to calm the crisis.
The 23-year-old, who cost Chelsea a reported 11 million euros loan fee, was one of four changes from the 4-0 FA Cup defeat at Manchester City last weekend.Given license to roam across Chelsea’s three-man attack, Felix showcased his speed and agile footwork as he surged into the Fulham area.
